2024 ART IN THE PARK ARTIST PROFILE
Jeremy Velasquez
"Windows to the Past" Artwork
I can't quite pinpoint how I first discovered the Art In The Park event, but I remember my excitement and curiosity about this seemingly vibrant community-based art gathering. I think art gatherings like this are fundamental in fostering a healthy community and society as a whole. As a muralist on the western slope, I've heard of several similar events and since imagined the joy of painting, mingling, and soaking up the beautiful weather with fellow artists and community members. I'm always eager to seize opportunities to make new friends and connect with other creatives. I’m definitely looking forward to my first time visiting. LETS PAINT!
